One route is to pick your own floating point representation, which frees you to much with values as you want. Of course, that makes you responsible for implementing arithmetic operations. Perhaps you could find a bignum library you could alter.
Your chromosome could be the n floating point numbers (doubles), or you could reinterpret them as bit strings by using a union.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
